Description
The LatePoint – Calendar Booking Plugin for Appointments and Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'first_name' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

AI Analysis

Impact

The LatePoint calendar booking plugin contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw that allows an unauthenticated attacker to write malicious JavaScript into the 'first_name' field. Because the input is not properly sanitized or escaped before being saved to the database and later rendered on webpages, injected scripts will automatically execute when any user loads pages that display the stored value. This can compromise user sessions, steal credentials, and potentially propagate other client‑side attacks. The weakness is a classic input validation and output encoding failure (CWE‑79).

Affected Systems

All installations of the LatePoint – Calendar Booking Plugin for WordPress, version 5.5.0 and all earlier releases, are affected. The vulnerability exists in the core files handling activities, email templates, and customer data. No later releases have been documented in the provided data to contain a fix, so users must explicitly ensure they are running a version beyond 5.5.0.

Risk and Exploitability

The severity is reflected in a CVSS score of 7.2, indicating a moderate‑to‑high risk. The EPSS score is reported as not available, so no current exploitation probability can be determined. The issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can trigger the flaw by submitting a booking form or any interface that accepts a 'first_name' parameter without requiring authentication; the malicious script is stored and later served to all visitors who view the affected pages. The lack of authentication for the input path makes exploitation feasible from publicly accessible interfaces, but the impact is confined to browsers that render the stored content.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade LatePoint to any version newer than 5.5.0 that contains the patch for this stored XSS flaw.
  • If a timely upgrade is not possible, temporarily disable or remove the LatePoint plugin from the site’s public installation to block the vulnerable input path.
  • Apply custom sanitization or output escaping to the 'first_name' field—such as using WordPress’s sanitization functions or a web application firewall to filter out script tags—so that any data stored in that field is rendered harmless by the time it reaches a user’s browser.
